Patricia,

It was fun to do. I am the type that wants to resolve everything down to the nth and this surface would not allow that. It forced me to paint in a way that I have always wanted. I think having completed this it will give me more confidence to loosen up.

Maybe it will ... After racing through the face and hand I found myself tightening up toward the bottom of the piece and it started looking like two different paintings. This is the main reason I cropped it off.

Julie,

Actually I didn't even notice how that connected. But from now on I will swear that it was my intention.
